I'm fairly excited for school to start seeing as I've been stagnant the last... FOREVER! I'm one of those really strange people like Marlon who, for some reason, enjoy going to school. I love learning, in fact I live to learn. I'm not 100% excited since a lot of my upcoming semester will mostly consist of annoying assignments that I'm doing not to learn, but just for a grade. I'm going to aim for a 3.78 this semester, that's an A in everything but English which is a B. We'll see how everything turns out. This semester puts me at almost completing my Gen Eds, I just need my majors now. Speaking of majors I'm feeling really unsure about what I want to do with myself career wise. Right now I'm set on a course to sit at a computer typing line after line of code. I'm really not sure if that's something I can live with for the rest of my life, so I've been contemplating alternatives. I really love math and science, it's just the type of guy I am, so I figured why not do something that is a blend of them and is a subject I love. Physics, it intrigues me and is something I can see myself getting a doctorate in, maybe. The problem is I'm not sure if I can stand to go through all of that to get a doctorate in the field and and try to establish myself. Also I had a horrid professor for my 101 class, so I learned nothing in that class, if that happened again I would easily fail in the field. Another thought, which is one that people keep trying to get me to do, is cooking. I love food, making, eating, smelling, being around... I just love everything to do with food. I don't know, I just don't see myself as a chef, plus just like in programming (and kinda physics) I don't see myself doing that for life. Music?... I'm not that good, plus every job market in music is insanely difficult to get into and in some parts (like composition which I would like) seems practically impossible.
So yeah, what do you guys see me doing for a career, it would be nice to see what you think.
This is the problem a lot of people have. They seem to have all these ideas but are stuck with the notion that they can only do ONE thing that they like. Listen, I may be young, hell, I may be naive as well, but I don't believe in all that bullshit. A person shouldn't be stuck with learning ONE thing. DO EVERYTHING YOU WANT. If you live your life with the idea that nothing is permanent, that everything can change in an instant, it's much easier to make tough decisions. Why is it easier? Because you let loose and stop being so worried. Take me for example, I have no fucking clue where I am going to end up. I just don't. I move around, go from job to job, school to school. It's crazy. But I wouldn't change it for anything. I thrive on these moments, on taking chances, seizing opportunities that are seemingly set for disaster. I just do what I want to do because I am young, and I am in love with life. You need to calm down, stop stressing and just take a breather. I understand having a "career" is what alot of people strive to have... but try to imagine yourself NOT having one. Instead, imagine yourself constantly learning, constantly trying new things and being able to do it all. I just think having only one job is a terrible idea. You need to try out different things before you settle on any ONE field of interest.
ReplyDeleteI've realized that I was rambling for a very long time. I just feel pretty strongly about this type of decision making. This is a cliche answer but just do what your heart tells you. It'll come to you, I promise.
I like what Tricia said
ReplyDeleteI'm not stressing, I'm just stating that I have no clue what to do. I'm just stating the ideas I have.
ReplyDeleteI think you should write things or cook things or enter the field of pyrotechnics. Mainly because I want to know someone in pyrotechnics.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd be pretty dope at writing fiction.
